Real Estate Guide › Central
Forest Hill South
Grounded at its southern end by those two icons of affluence, Upper Canada College and Forest Hill Village, the area bounded by Avenue, Bathurst, St. Clair and Eglinton has a swagger. Completely developed by the 1930s, the area exudes both traditional respectability and a rabid desire to keep up. Front-lawn Dumpsters are common, as are massive renovations. Homes are big, as in Brian Gluckstein’s six-bedroom and six-bath 1913 design showcase or the seven-bedroom “Forest Hill Landmark” that recently listed for $5.7 million; they come in every style, from Spanish mansions with terra cotta tiles to English country manors with Tudor boarding and sweeping lawns. Utilitarian brick is usually well hidden behind stucco or stone, and the houses come loaded with such luxe details as sculpture gardens, porte cochères, gated entrances and, of course, circular driveways.
